Blogging since 4-27-08. This is my journal. A place to share bits of me, my family and life and other things of interest to me, and I hope to you. A place to meet new friends and bond with old. A place to share my thoughts and projects in sewing, beading and needlework. It only takes a moment to say hello!

My garden and yard is full of Rose of Sharon. I have several varieties in all the common shades. I have double flower bushes too. Rose of Sharon are in the Hibiscus family. I have Hibiscus in Fuchsia.

I can't remember where or when I bought this bush. I think it was last year or the year before. This is the first year that it flowered. The leaves are purple. Believe me, if I knew the flowers were going to be this huge and this gorgeous and this color I would have broke the bank to load up.

Hi dear heart! Thought I would make it here yesterday but didn't...so today it is!

Had to get back to the last chapter where I left off and, OMG, I have *NEVER* seen a Hibiscus that big in my life.....it is just *AMAZING*!!! I have a Rose of Sharon bush/tree in my yard, but my tree isn't producing flowers that size!!! *LUCKY*!!!!!!!!!! LOL...I would have broke the bank to load up too. I hope that you can find the same plant this next spring to add to your yard...it's lovely.
